The NCT also became known as the Red Pine Trail for the first mile and a quarter and it was an easy to follow fairly easy forest trail with a few small ups and downs and turns as well as a few boardwalks. This popped me out onto an old road at Junction 10. This is where the NCT becomes the Nebo trail and I followed this south for about 3/4 of a mile to junction 11. There the NCT would continue east now becoming the East Ridge Trail. I decided that junction 11 was a good turnaround point for me this morning. I wasn't sure how early our group wanted to get going for the day and so I wanted to be back to get breakfast. It also happened that the bugs, including flies that would follow me as I ran were just a nuisance. I retraced my steps back to the camp area.
I would definitely enjoy returning to Wilderness S.P. to check out the other trails available here. I still need to explore along the coast and get out to the western tip of Waugoshance Point.
